When my wife makes me a brew, she only fills it to 3/4. Now I just decline her offers and make them myself. What's crazy is that she'll fill her cup to the normal amount; and I'm not known for spilling my drinks.

Ah the old, "make it consistently bad to discourage them from asking" gambit

Aww has the tide gone out? Or something?

That's illegal.

This is an outrage. You're getting the dregs of the kettle, pal. She's misjudging the amount of water to put in for 2 mugs and pours hers first. I'd bet money on it.

Oh 100%. But she also doesn't see the problem with it being so low and thinks I'm fussy!

Madness. Absolute madness. Sorry for your troubles.

You clearly cannot be trusted with the power of a full mug of tea.

Which is wild as the sofa is riddled with evidence of her tea & coffee mishaps!

Classic projection. From one of you, at least.
